The name means ‘Holy Bridegroom’, and the temple is also known as Kunwar Math. It faces east, is dated to 1000–1150 CE, and is the last of the temples built during the Chandela period. The temple is laid out on a seven-projection (saptaratha) plan, and its carved figures are noted for their soft, expressive features.
